Today we went to the cinema to see Paranorman. Every weekend the local Empire Cinema runs a "kids club" whereby all the kids must take an adult and all tickets cost only £1. We try and go when we can and todays film was Paranorman.

Roman sat on Marks lap throughout, his hood covering his eyes, terrified and kept asking when we could leave! Mark and Anais enjoyed it. Can't say it was my kind of film, I don't enjoy sci fi or fantasy (except for Twilight!), it reminded me a lot of Coraline, but for £1 each you can't complain.

When we came home we had lunch and then put the house back to normal after New Year. For New Year we had the whole family round for dinner so cooked for 12! Mark was back to work 2nd January so today was our 1st chance to put the house back to normal.

<<<New Years Day

Sad day in our house today as Percy the Kobo died and had to be returned so I am Kobo less and unable to finish New Moon :-( Decisions, decisions, dad is pleased with his Kindle, Nicolette is pleased with her Kobo, so what to go for......... I am leaning towards another Kobo so I can borrow library books. I had a refund for now so got to decide what to buy next. While we were returning Percy the Kobo we popped into Birthdays and brought 5 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper for £1 reduced, last year was the first year in years we had to buy wrapping paper as we hadn't brought enough in the previous January sales, BUT, while Mark was putting the Christmas things back in the loft he found another pack of 3 papers that had got lost in the loft so now we have lots again :-) 2013 must be the year we sort the loft out who knows what else is up there that we have forgotton about!

Tea today was pizza for the kids at their request and we had goats cheese ciabatta drizzled with balsamic vinegar, breaded mushrooms, onion rings and roasted medditeranean vegetables, my favourite, I could quite happily become a vegetarian!

Not much progress made on Dolphin latch hook today as we have been busy, only one block of 10x10 done so 100 latches done. ROman has been busy playing with his new Lego building planes and Anais has got bored of her lion cub latch hook and has been surfing the internet. Mark has been googling new e-readers and surfing the net also! Now off to open more wine and settle down for the evening!
